2 Claims.

This invention relates to garment hangers and more particularly to a combination coat and hat hook.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hanger of the character mentioned which can be cheaply and economically constructed, readily and easily applied to a wall or other suitable support, and which is of such a construction and arrangement of parts as to insure the retention ithereon of hats, coats or the like in a positive and efiicient manner.

The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:-

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the coat and hat hook and Figure 2 is a front end elevational view thereof.

Referring tothe drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that in the preferred embodiment of the invention thecombination coat and hat hook is formed from a single length of wire rod or the like bent,.shaped and dimensioned. to provide an inclined arm 5 which at one end is provided with a reverse bend 6 that in turn merges into a U-bend or brace element 1 which latter at the closed end of the U is welded to the arm 5 as at 8. At the open end of the U the free side of the member I merges into a forwardly extending'longitudinally curved hook 9 that in turn is provided with a reverse bend l0 that connects the hook 9 with a shank H the free end of which extends beyond the return bend 6 and is pointed and threaded to provide a screw l2.

Preferably there is welded or otherwise secured as at I3 to the combination coat and hat hook at the bend B a disc 14 which latter is suitably apertured to accommodate the shank of the securing hook l2.

On its outer or free end there is secured to the arm 5 a knob or head l5 which may be of wood covered with fabric, or enameled, and screwed or otherwise secured on to the free end'of the arm 5.

In using the hanger the screw I2 is screwed into a wall or other suitable support until the disc I4 is brought into fiat bearing engagement against the support with the arm 5 extending outwardly and upwardly from the support.

With the hanger thus secured tothe support it will be seen that the arm 5 together with the knob l5 on the free end thereof Will serve admirably as a hanger arm for a hat while the hook 9 may have the collar or other portion of a garment disposed thereover and will serve ad mirably for suspending the garment from the hanger. 5

It will be further found, in actual practice, that a garment hanger having the features of the present invention will be such as to retain garments, especially hats thereon in a manner as will not permit the hats to be readilyknocked 10 off of the arm 5 or otherwise displaced.

It is thought that a clear understanding and appreciation of an invention of this character will be had without a more detailed description;

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:-

1. A garment hanger comprising a length of wire rod bent, shaped and dimensioned to provide a. hat suspension arm provided at one end with a return bend merging into a U-shaped 20 brace member secured at its closed end to said arm, and having one side at the open end of the U extended forwardly and longitudinally bowed to present a garment suspension hook, said garment suspension hook at its free end merging 25 into a return bend, with the free end of the wire extending rearwardly from said return bend and extending beyond the first mentioned return bend with its terminal being tapered and threaded to provide an attaching screw whereby the 30 hanger may be secured to a wall or analogous support.

2. A garment hanger comprising a length of wire rod bent, shaped and dimensioned to provide a hat suspension arm provided at one end 35 with a return bend merging into a U-shaped brace member secured at its closed end to said arm, and having one side at the open end of the U extended forwardly and longitudinally bowed to present a garment suspension hook, said gar- 40.

ment suspension hook at its free end merging into a return bend, with the free end of the wire extending rearwardly from said return bend and extending beyond the, first mentioned return bend and its terminal being tapered and thread- 45 ed to provide an attaching means whereby the hanger may be secured to a wall or analogous support, a-knob on the free end of said hat supporting arm, and a disc member secured to the first mentioned return bend and apertured to 50 accommodate the threaded screw forming terminal of the wire.
